Beginning today, the downtown brewery will be selling bottles of its classic Silver Foam lager, featuring a special-edition Silver Line label.

A happy hour release party will take place today at the brewery from 4-6 p.m. The limited-edition 22-ounce bottles will be $11, or $8 for GRBC members.

The Silver Line launched Monday morning with much fanfare. The $40 million rapid transit system features 34 stations along a 9.6-mile route stretching from downtown south to Division Avenue and 60th Street.

The project has been in the works for a decade, and is Michigan's first bus rapid transit system.

Silver Foam is the original flagship brand of the Grand Rapids Brewing Company, dating back to its late-19th-century origins. Barfly Ventures acquired the rights to the company and opened a new facility in downtown Grand Rapids in 2012, bringing back the popular beer.
